Fall Fun

Costumes, visiting friends and carving pumkins were the best part of Halloween for us. Abigail decided she wanted to be what her big brother was for Halloween last year (even though she had not yet entered this world at the time), so she went as a bumble bee.

Jaron was a construction worker. He already had the hard hat and the tool belt (Christmas and birthday gifts from Nanna/Pappa and Gramma/Grampa) so once we found an orange construction vest, it was complete!
Even though we were supposed to gain an hour of sleep last night from Daylight Savings Time, they actually lost an hour since we kept them up past their bedtime. We went to our neighbors houses to say hello, then we packed 'em up in the car to go visit "Aunt" Carole and Fred Pletscher (a wonderful couple from church who say they now have two more grandchildren, J & A) where we stayed for about an hour. Then we went to visit a college friend of Jeremy's and his wife, Matt & Danielle, who live a few blocks from us. There were a few others we wanted to visit, but the kids were SO tired, we knew we had to call it a night, get them home for a bath and into bed. Overall, Jaron and Abbie were really good sports about it. We had a fun time!













Jaron was very excited about his first Jack-o-Lantern.













Mary was a little too excited about hers.

Aww, so cute! Great pictures! The kids look so happy and the costumes are priceless. We missed seeing you all, but were glad you got to visit lots of others!

Oh, and great singing yesterday!

Great photos! Sounds like you had a great time.

We were in NY for Halloween. Mom carved a pumpkin all by herself and did a marvelous job, I might add. Our Halloween consisted of potluck at church, then home to bed. (I was sick.)
